Social

The Social person's interests focus on interacting with the people in their environment. In all cases, the Social person enjoys the personal contact with other people in preference to the impersonal dealings with things, data and ideas found in other groups.

Many will seek out positions where there is direct contact with the public in some advisory role, whether a receptionist or a counsellor. Social people are motivated by an interest in different types of people and like diversity in their work environments. Many are drawn towards careers in the caring professions and social welfare area, whilst others prefer teaching and other 'informing' roles.

Social care graduates find employment with a diverse range of employers including:

• The Statutory Sector: the HSE, Tusla (Child & Family Agency), Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration & Youth, Education or Justice,
• The non-govermental sector, for example Brothers of Charity, St Hilda’s
• Community based organisations
• private sector such as private residential and foster care services

As a graduate of this honours degree, you may decide to pursue postgraduate training and research leading to Master’s and PhD (level 9/10) qualifications. TUS’s MA in Advanced Social Care Practice and MA in Child & Youth Studies are popular level 9 options.
